Does your mom calm you down or stress you out?

    Calms me down, she's the first person I call when I have a problem/vent/just because.

    She calms me down SO much. She is just a really great listener and I talk to her about everything... I probably don't go a day without talking to her.

    My MIL however.... grrr.

    My Mom totally calms me down. She's the peacemaker in the family.

    STRESS!! SOo much. The night before my wedding at the rehersal dinner (with a TON of people there from both families) she yelled at me for not having a plan for how one of her friends was going to get from the hotel to the ceremony... not my job to plan that, she should have rented a car and since she didn't the bride shouldn't have to track down a way for her to get there. I ended up in the bathroom crying with my MIL comforting me.

    It's a recurring trend, she tends to try to externalize her problems and make them someone elses (mine). And even though we're not TTC yet, she has been dropping hints left and right about staying with us for 2 weeks to a month after we have a kid. NO. WAY. I can already tell that would be a very stressful and bad environment!! She currently lives way across the country so if she did stay she would really be staying with me, not just popping in every once in a while.

    @berdine: OMG, my uncle (mom's brother) was so high maintenance during my wedding weekend.....no rental car and he wanted to go to Disneyland before my wedding and wanted DH to drive him there. LOL.

    My mom is my voice of reason, she calms me down when I let my touch of anxiety get to me. I have an overactive imagination at times, she brings me down to earth.
